Snowstorm Claims Two Hikers in High Sierras Tragedy
An autopsy was conducted on one of two Southern California hikers who died during a surprise snowstorm in the High Sierras. Craig McIntire, 13, from La Puente, died after collapsing at 11,000 feet while hiking with his father, with another 11 year old from Laguna Hills among the victims. The unseasonal storm dumped six inches of snow at peaks above 11,000 feet, forcing rescues of stranded hikers. A Navy helicopter crash near Mt Whitney was averted when rescuers saved the crew and the trapped couple.
